Mint is a good remedy for- Indigestion, colic, cold and flu, bad breath
Peppermint, for example, can aid digestion by relaxing the intestines, soothing spasms and increasing healthy gastric secretions. Mint’s antispasmodic properties help relieve intestinal spasms in colicky infants. Breast-feeding is the best way to give infants the herb.
The mother should drink mint tea – diluted with 50% water – about a half-hour before nursing. If Mom is no longer nursing, add 1 teaspoon of dried mint to a cup, fill the rest with boiling water and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain the mixture and transfer to a baby bottle.
Mint’s sharp scent and flavor can clear stuffed nasal passages.
Watch out: It’s generally safe in normal doses; for tea, that is 1/2 to two teaspoons of dried mint infused in boiling water. Allergic rashes are its most common side effect.
